Son of a dockyard worker, Paganini was born in Genoa, Italy on October 27. Initially, his bullying father was his teacher who constantly forced him to practise the violin. He was a concert soloist from the age of nine, and a virtuoso violinist from age 11. Two years later, he studied composition in Parma.
Niccolo Paganini (1782-1840), Italian composer, violinist, violist, and guitarist, is hailed as the superstar, the greatest violin virtuoso of all time. He played all the music he wrote, and drew on folk and gypsy tunes to create the modern repertoire of virtuoso techniques.
Paganini's 'Pact with the Devil'

His is profoundly acknowledged for his artistic influence on Liszt, Chopin, Schumann and Berlioz, who took up his challenge in search for greater expression in their own works; he also influenced other successive violinists like Ernst, Beriot, and Viextemps.
Niccolo Paganini made triumphant tours of Austria, Germany, and France, and Westphalia where he was made a baron. He also visited England and Scotland.
